After upgrade to Debian 10 there is no sound any more with an CT5880 card.
In the KDE settings the sound is greyed out.

What have to be done?

Hello Debian maintainer,

i don't want to criticize you, but there is no progress in this and other bugs like this any more.
The problem is that i am still working with Debian 8 (Jessie) on my desktop, because there are fundamental problems in
Debian 9 & 10 desktop systems that will prevent to use ist, like a missing sound.

It's not a problem to use newer versions of Debian in server systems, because there is no need of a desktop.
But when you want to have Multimedia and other features like working with 2 screens then only Debian 8 is working with
all features.
I think this is not your fault - is it possible that newer Versions after Debian 8 (Jessie) are not as stable as the
years before any more?
It's like a step back to the roots in the history, where video and sound problems are a nightmare after each upgrade of
a system.

When you agree, what can be done?

Best regards
karsten
